PREY PREFERENCE AND PREDATORY BEHAVIOR OF Aurantilaria aurantiaca (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: FASCIOLARIIDAE) Preferência de presa e comportamento predatório de Aurantilaria aurantiaca (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: Arquivos de Ciências do Mar FASCIOLARIIDAE) Carlos Augusto Oliveira de Meirelles1,3, Helena Matthews-Cascon1,2 RESUMO A família Fasciolariidae é formada por espécies carnívoras que usualmente predam outros gastrópodes e bivalves. Geralmente utilizam como estratégia de predação, o lascamento de concha, meio pelo qual o predador pode alcançar as partes moles da presa. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram determinar as possíveis presas de Aurantilaria aurantiaca da Praia do Pacheco (Caucaia-CE-Brasil) e a sua preferência alimentar em condições de laboratório. As presas observadas foram os gastrópodes Pisania pusio, Tegula viridula e Stramonita brasiliensis. O experimento de preferência de presa foi executado acondicionando um predador em um aquário de 5 litros com um indivíduo de cada presa, sendo observado durante 60 dias (replicado 10 vezes). Para a determinação do tempo de manipulação da presa, um predador foi acondicionado em uma caixa plástica mergulhada em um aquário de 80 litros juntamente com uma espécie de presa, sendo anotado o tempo de predação por duas 2 horas, durante 30 dias (replicado 10 vezes para cada espécie de presa). Aurantilaria aurantiaca mostrou preferência por Stramonita brasiliensis, o qual teve o mais baixo tempo de manipulação da presa. Pisania pusio e Tegula viridula não apresentaram resultados estatisticamente significativos (p = 0.7235 e 0.2499, respectivamente). O comportamento predatório mostrou 2 estratégias: penetração direta da probóscide e sufocamento. Não houve registro de lascamento de concha. Aurantilaria aurantiaca apresentou-se como um predador generalista, onde a variação de tempo de manipulação da presa mostrou que o predador passou por um processo de aprendizagem.

ABSTRACT Fasciolariid species are predators that prey on other gastropods and bivalves. They usually break prey shell to reach its soft parts. In this study, prey species that Aurantilaria aurantiaca consumes at Pacheco Beach (Ceará State, Northeast Brazil) and its prey preference in laboratory conditions were determined. Prey species observed were Pisania pusio, Tegula viridula and Stramonita brasiliensis. Prey preference experiment was performed placing one individual of Aurantilaria aurantiaca and one individual of each prey species in a 5 liters tank. It lasted 60 days and was replicated 10 times. Handling time of predation on each prey was measured by placing one predator with one prey into separate plastic containers in an 80 liters tank. Observations were made every 2 hours over a 30-day period. Aurantilaria aurantiaca showed preference for Stramonita brasiliensis, which presented the shortest handling time. Pisania pusio and Tegula viridula didn’t show statistical significant results (p = 0.7235 e 0.2499 respectively). Aurantilaria aurantiaca presented 2 main predatory strategies: direct prey shell penetration and asphyxiating process. No damaged prey shells were observed. The predator showed a generalist predatory behavior. Prey handling time variations demonstrated that Aurantilaria aurantiaca predation act involved a training process.

Few studies have discrepancy is the regularity of foraging behavior in quantitatively analyzed prey selection or prey the intertidal zones (Yamamoto, 2004). Although composition of generalist predators (Spiller & many predators have different foraging behavior Schoener, 1990; Wootton, 1997; Eisenberg et al., 2000). patterns between high tide and low tide, many of the Feeding strategies may also differ with studies were lead during low tide (Fairweather & relation to the number of prey items eaten. Dietary Underwood, 1983; McQuaid, 1985; Moran, 1985b; generalists eat wider ranges of prey than dietary Abe, 1989). Another reason is the difference in specialists (Curio, 1976). Specialization should be handling time in different types of prey, where those effective enough to achieve optimal hunting success that demand a bigger time are more frequently but at the same time it should not be so rigid as to observed (Peterson & Bradley, 1978; Fairweather & prevent the predator from changing from a particular Underwood, 1983; Abe, 1989). and originally preferred prey species when that The gastropod family Fasciolariidae is formed species becomes rare (Curio, 1976). by carnivorous species, usually preying on bivalves The food value of different food items can be and others gastropods (Fretter & Graham, 1962; compared by measuring their size, handling time Paine, 1963; Owen, 1966; Matthews-Cascon et al., (the time that a predator takes capturing, subduing, 1989; Meirelles & Matthews-Cascon, 2003).

Accepted 11-V-2001) Abstract: The mollusks in Manuel Antonio National Park on the central section of the Pacific coast of Costa Rica were studied along thirty-six transects done perpendicular to the shore, and by random sampling of subtidal environments, beaches and mangrove forest. Seventy-four species of mollusks belonging to three classes and 40 families were found: 63 gastropods, 9 bivalves and 2 chitons, during this study in 1995. Of these, 16 species were found only as empty shells (11) or inhabited by hermit crabs (5). Forty-eight species were found at only one locality. Half the species were found at one site, Puerto Escondido. The most diverse habitat was the low rocky intertidal zone. Nodilittorina modesta was present in 34 transects and Nerita scabricosta in 30. Nodilittorina aspera had the highest density of mollusks in the transects. Only four transects did not clustered into the four main groups. The species composition of one cluster of transects is associated with a boulder substrate, while another cluster of transects associates with site.

Thirteen samplings were performed at 8 stations in 2012 (seven samplings), 2014 (four), and 2015 (two). The collection of the mollusks in each station was done at a maximum depth of 5 m for 1 h by 3 divers. A total of 2086 specimens belonging to 89 species, 36 families, and 3 classes of mollusks were identified. Gastropoda was the most diverse and abundant group. Calyptreaidae, Columbellidae, and Muricidae had >5 species, but Pisaniidae, Conidae, Fasciolariidae, and Muricidae had ≥15% of relative abundance. Most species found in this study were recorded in the rocky intertidal zone, and 10 species were restricted to the rocky subtidal zone. The affinity in the composition of the species during 2012–2015 had a low similarity (25%), but we could differentiate natural and anthropogenic effects according to malacological composition.

Além de serem considerados bioindicadores de poluição em ambientes aquáticos, estes animais são indispensáveis para o bem estar e saúde do ser humano por diversas razões, dentre elas é possível citar o fornecimento de material para alimentícios e fármacos, e a realização de serviços ecossistêmicos imprescindíveis para o funcionamento adequado do planeta. Este trabalho teve por objetivo conhecer a fauna de moluscos do litoral do Piaui. As coletas do material foram realizadas nos anos de 2017 e 2019, durante cinco dias de coletas cada, em dois pontos distintos do litoral Piauiense: a Praia do Coqueiro (município de Luis Correia) e a Praia de Barra Grande (município de Cajueiro da Praia). Os moluscos foram coletados manualmente em horários de maré baixa. Foram fixados com formaldeído a 10%, preservados em álcool 70% e levados para o Laboratório de Zoologia da Universidade Federal do Piauí, Campus Senador Helvídio Nunes de Barros, onde o material foi triado e identificado de acordo com a literatura específica.

Sixty-seven species are recorded, of which 18 are new: Gibberula ligeriana nov. sp., Euthria presselierensis nov. sp., Mitrella clava nov. sp., Mitrella ligeriana nov. sp., Mitrella miopicta nov. sp., Mitrella pseudoinedita nov. sp., Mitrella pseudoblonga nov. sp., Mitrella pseudoturgidula nov. sp., Sulcomitrella sceauxensis nov. sp., Tritia turtaudierei nov. sp., Engina brunettii nov. sp., Pisania redoniensis nov. sp., Pusia (Ebenomitra) brebioni nov. sp., Pusia (Ebenomitra) pseudoplicatula nov. sp., Pusia (Ebenomitra) renauleauensis nov. sp., Pusia (Ebenomitra) sublaevis nov. sp., Episcomitra s.l. silvae nov. sp., Pseudonebularia sceauxensis nov. sp. Fusus strigosus Millet, 1865 is a junior homonym of F. strigosus Lamarck, 1822, and is renamed Polygona substrigosa nom. nov. Nassa (Amycla) lambertiei Peyrot, 1925, is considered a new subjective junior synonym of Tritia pyrenaica (Fontannes, 1879).
